Yes, I find minted much nicer that listings, the only drawback being
that it has external dependencies. I guess you've already discovered
that you can do

(add-to-list 'org-export-latex-minted-langs '(foo "bar"))

where foo is the name of the language and bar is the pygments lexer
that should be used to typeset it.
